what is it?

[Editor]

So this one may be a good one. God damn tired of you anarchists guessing it in like 3 seconds. As with many of these, there is a story behind it as well as some serious mods.

This one had been modified for "leisure" sailing, not racing. We'll add that the seller - yes you can buy this baby - claims that it is the "complete package".

So before you buy it, first tell us what it is! And just to make this harder, this is the largest picture we have. Have fun!

Ed, aoritc dissection.  If you or anyone feels the most pain that you can experience, and doesn't black out get them to ICU immediately.  Your mortality is measured like this, 50% die immediately, every hour following another10% die.  God kept me going through a month of gnarly times.  When I got out of Stanford and was bedridden I was able to sell my G32,on your classifieds to a wonderful family, and amuse myself with the groups here., so your work has helped me a great deal.  Aloha, Guerdon.

A personal thanks from myself to you.  
The forums, despite the bickering are helping a lot of people right now to stay connected, share useful information, stay somewhat sane and generally waste a massive amount time.

One of my good sailing buddies died of an A.D. 6 years ago.  50 years old, had 3 grade school kids.  He had come to go on a WNR with us.  Felt bad while I was talking to my sailmaker and went to sit in his car. Threw up, felt worse, my wife called 911 and went to the hospital with him.  Called his wife and said, you might want to come here (1+45 minutes away)  Meanwhile she's texting me that they can't get his heart started.  Was a really crappy time.

The day of his funereal we got to the church early and put RESERVED FOR SAILORS signs on the left front 2 rows, went to the bar and met all the other sailors.  5 min before the service we walked to the church which now had 500 people SRO.   We all walked in and took our seats!  Even got a smile sorta out of the family.

Dave, God bless you, thanks for spreading the word about A.D.  Remember if you or someone you love feels a tearing around the heart [not a heart attack] immediately get to  ICU.  Tell them you are having an Aortic Dissection,  It will save lives[it is usually not diagnosed].  Thanks for spreading the word.

Jesus christ I almost wished I didn't just read a graphic description of AD.  Glad you are recovering guerdon, it sounds fucking horrendous.  

 

[Sail4beer]

Watch the language! Your people offed him and I couldn’t eat any red meat today as a result...

Guerdon, glad you made it, buddy

Yeah Ed, I want to express my appreciation for this website and forum too. I know it attracts some weirdo's, but I guess we are all a bit "off" in some way and the positive does displace the negative most of the time and I learn a ton here.
